Criminals For Gun Control part 1 Home Invasion

Why do people need handguns?

Though this is a commonly asked question, a more appropriate question would be: “Why should handguns be banned?” In a free society, the burden of proof is not upon those who would exercise a right but on those who would infringe that right. Private citizens benefit from handguns for the same reason that the police do: handguns are easy to carry, and they are effective defensive tools. Handguns are used for protection more often than they are used to commit violent crimes, and two of every three defensive uses of firearms are carried out with handguns. Survey research shows that people who use firearms for protection are less likely to be injured during a criminal attack than people who use other means of protection or no protection. Handguns are also very widely used for target shooting and they’ve become more commonly used for hunting.

I have been freelancing
landscape, lifestyle and wildlife photography since the mid 80’s. The quest for
light drives we photographers to search out pretty places or to dissect our
surroundings to find illumination to capture where we are. It makes us seek out
beautiful things even in adverse conditions. During our dailytravel, we are looking for a beautiful
rectangle we can isolate out of the chaos of life.

My freelance photography
bifurcated to include graphic design work, which opened the door to web
publishing requiring that I learned to write. I publish the Greater Yellowstone Resource Guidefor those planning to visit Yellowstone.
